Chapter 190
After Ling He introduced himself, Qiu Chi was already holding out her hand, her gaze fixed darkly on him.
He couldn’t help but feel a phantom ache—a residual physical memory from being beaten.
He coughed awkwardly. “Well then, let’s get straight to the point.”
Qiu Chi didn’t retract her hand.
Ling He said helplessly, “He’s innocent, and of course, so am I. This was actually for your own good. You’ve seen the benefits, haven’t you?”
“Oh? Then beating him up is also for his own good. It’ll help him train his body.”
It was indeed for her own good, but she didn’t appreciate this kind of forced benevolence.
So, she needed to beat someone up to vent.
Although Ling He had been a tiny bit stronger than her at first, he still ended up getting beaten by her in the end.
Therefore, fighting was an excellent way to let off steam.
He would continue to be beaten by her in the future, and she would soon have vented all her frustration.
What? You say he helped her too?
But her fighting him didn’t mean she was bullying him. After all, the more you get hit, the more resistant you become. When you encounter an opponent you can’t beat, you can last longer. And once you’re used to being beaten, getting hit by others won’t feel like much. Isn’t that great?
Qiu Chi felt she was being truly merciful to them.
Ling He felt his hair stand on end under Qiu Chi’s gaze.
In the end, he released the Main System.
Before letting it go, he asked for confirmation, “You’re really just going to beat it up once?”
Qiu Chi nodded, her expression unchanged.
Once he took out the Main System and it was in her hands, Qiu Chi bound it with her whip and tossed it into her personal space, where the other system was also located.
Only then did Qiu Chi look at Ling He and say, “It might be more than a few beatings. I’ll have it stay with me for a while.”
The Main System was already in Qiu Chi’s hands. What could Ling He do but agree?
Having dealt with the Main System, Qiu Chi moved on to another topic. “Why the sudden help?”
Most World Consciousnesses rely on themselves to break through and evolve. From the moment of her birth, Qiu Chi had actually been extremely powerful.
However, she specialized in combat but lacked emotion.
Even other combat-oriented World Consciousnesses possessed some degree of emotion. Qiu Chi was different; she had none at all.
So, despite her power, she was somewhat incomplete. If she were from one of those small worlds, it wouldn’t matter; a small flaw wouldn’t hinder much.
But the key was that Qiu Chi’s world was not a small world. It was a middle-tier world with the potential to develop into a great world.
Furthermore, although the primary focus of each World Consciousness was different, very few were like Qiu Chi, so utterly devoid of emotion that not even a trace remained.
For her to successfully become the Way of Heaven for her world, she naturally needed to have this thing called emotion.
Therefore, Qiu Chi had actually undergone numerous reincarnations without her memories.
Just like the heroines of abuse novels in those small worlds—they were all the World Consciousnesses of their respective small worlds. They had those experiences, naturally, to become a true Way of Heaven sooner.
Qiu Chi, of course, was no exception to these experiences.
And because she had no emotion at all, the scenarios planned for her were actually even more tragic.
But… Qiu Chi was simply too formidable.
Even in reincarnations where she had no memories, she could turn the tables with sheer force.
What was originally an abuse novel script was forcibly turned into a story of overwhelming triumph in her hands.
But things couldn’t go on like this.
Some small worlds had several candidates for the Way of Heaven, so there were choices.
But a world like the Xingyun Realm had no choice at all, because Qiu Chi was born along with the world itself.
When Qiu Chi’s consciousness was still nebulous, the Xingyun Realm’s Way of Heaven was incomplete, but ascension was still possible.
When Qiu Chi was undergoing other tribulations to determine her primary focus, her lack of emotion hadn’t yet been discovered, and ascension from the Xingyun Realm was still possible.
But when it was time for her to experience the tribulation of emotion, she got stuck, and ascension from the Xingyun Realm became impossible.
No matter how tragic the script, Qiu Chi could always turn the tables. No matter the love, hate, or passion, in her hands, it all boiled down to less talk and more action—a good beating would make anyone compliant.
She was stuck on this matter of emotion.
And as great worlds, they naturally couldn’t just watch a perfectly good world on the verge of becoming a great world, the Xingyun Realm, remain so flawed, could they?
So they discussed it over and over and finally found a solution.
The worlds Qiu Chi went to, their World Consciousnesses were all emotion-focused. Some had an overabundance of emotion.
They could actually foresee a bit of those abuse novel scripts, but being so full of emotion, once they experienced them, their emotional consciousness would get stuck in it for a long time. While not fatal, they really didn’t want to go through it!
Especially the ones with weaker willpower; they doubted themselves, feeling they couldn’t get through those plots at all. They would then be sent back to do it all over again, meaning they would be abused over and over.
At this rate, when would it ever end? When could they finally face their peers with a smile?
Them, with their overflowing emotions, versus Qiu Chi, who had not a shred of emotion—wasn’t this a perfect way to neutralize each other?
So, with him as the representative, they approached the consciousnesses of those small worlds to discuss whether Qiu Chi could help them get through the plots. In return, they would share a bit of their Heavenly Dao power, which contained emotion, with Qiu Chi.
The World Consciousnesses who didn’t want to live through those tragic plots hit it off with Ling He immediately.
And so, Qiu Chi was forcibly bound, which led to everything that followed.
Originally, if Qiu Chi had just followed the plots properly, she might have gathered enough emotion after just a few worlds.
But, as it happened, Qiu Chi was unwilling to follow the plot, so it wasted some time.
After all, when Qiu Chi didn’t follow the plot properly, although they could still pass, the amount of emotion-filled Heavenly Dao power they could share with her was reduced.
Because Qiu Chi was too powerful, she couldn’t help but influence them, causing their originally weak combat abilities to grow a little.
And as a balance, their emotional power naturally decreased, meaning they could share even less with Qiu Chi.
At the end of his explanation, Ling He even complained a little, “If you had just followed the plots properly, the Xingyun Realm would probably have become a great world by now.”
Qiu Chi glanced at him. “Do I look like someone who enjoys being abused?”
Ling He: “…” Not at all. Not in the slightest. When they fought, he had only managed to land a few hits before she immediately beat him back, even pinning him down. Her combat power was just absurd.
Unsure what came to his mind, Ling He stood up. “I forgot you just got back. I won’t waste any more of your time with nonsense. Once a few cultivators successfully ascend, your world will be able to become a great world. You’re welcome to come visit me in my world.”
“To find you in your world for a fight?”
Ling He, who had been extending his hand for a handshake, quickly retracted it. He shot Qiu Chi a speechless glance. “Can’t you think of anything besides fighting? I was the one who helped you deal with that unwanted suitor of yours, you know. You could at least thank me.”
Qiu Chi stood up and drew her blade. “I thank you. To show my gratitude, let’s have a fight.”
Ling He: “…I have other matters to attend to. Farewell.” He had made up his mind. He would go find the battle maniac next door later, so Qiu Chi would never think about fighting him again!
